I usually wear a size 7 but had to exchange for 7.5. This boot runs a bit narrow, and it's a bit of a struggle getting my foot down into the foot part of the boot. Once it's in, it fits wonderfully and is a very comfortable boot (I have tried probably 30 boots in the past 3 years, and this is the first pair I've kept). My calf is 14" circumference, and this boot fits well in the calf, with a little room to spare. I like that the boot is waterproof and has a rugged, non-skid sole that will be great in winter weather. I also needed a boot without a heel due to ankle issues, and this boot feels like wearing a tennis shoe as far as the heel goes. The boot feels like really good quality materials and construction and I'm hoping they will last several years.

A little tight on the foot entry for the first wearing but given they are real leather, I know they will soften. Overall, a nice fit. Works for my wide calf and I can get them zipped all the way up which is great. Low heel and super comfortable for walking around. I do wish the toe was a little bit more pointed, and not so round. Glad these are waterproof but have not tested that yet. Great fall boot for the PNW. Fits as expected!

I really wanted to like these boots - I saw them in the Title Nine catalog paired with leggings and a dress and they were so cute. But, when they arrived they were so stiff, and the leather was so easy to mark that they scuffed when I was trying to get the left one on. the footbed was narrow and pinched and the heel cup felt like it would gouge my skin. I didn't want to order a size up because the toe to heel distance was correct for my foot, and I didn't want that area to be roomier. For whatever reason these just weren't a fit for my foot. The price was too high to give breaking them in a chance, so they went back.

Love these boots so much! I want to wear them everyday! They are sturdy and comfortable, the color is warm and perfect. Can’t recommend these enough. I was looking for a boot that would fit my calf and these did with the help of the stretchy band along one of the sides. My calf circumference is 16”. Love these!!

Sadly, returning. Calves just too wide for me! I am 12 ¾-13 (different on each leg...) and I could have practically put another leg in there. Rain would totally drench my feet and defeat the point of wearing waterproof boots. These would work for a larger calved person. Otherwise, the boot was just what I wanted: casual sole with enough cushioning and give-it almost felt like a trail runner andI felt I could walk all over the city, or even on some flat trails with it-and a non-dressy, matte finish. I don't think it can be dressed up due to the finish primarily (I have La Canadiennes for that) but it would look nice with any tucked in pant or legging and long sweaters, or even something like sportier sweater dress. You could dress it up with such a dress in the right color and add a silk scarf and it would be dressy enough while traveling, I feel. I have wide front feet with toes that spread tones, bony and arthritic feet (especially on sides), but a narrow heel and high arch. My feet don't have any fat on them. I say this because the zipper doesn't go all the way to the bottom of the boot, but I could still get my foot in , despite my high arch. My forefoot and toes felt great-no pinching at all, in a thin pair of socks. I'm an 8 generally, also in running shoes, 38 or 39 in Euro, sometimes a 7.5 (in Clarks for example.) The 8 here was perfect for me. The heel cup is narrow, though it was fine for me, but it is stiff and if your heel isn't narrow you may need to size up or try something else. This is a great boot, though. For those who it fits, I think you will have this boot a very long time as your go to weekend or casual boot.

I love these boots! They are my all time favs at this point (and I have had a lot of boots in this long life). Waterproof (a must in Vermont winters), plenty tall (I am 5'7") and incredibly comfortable from first steps. On the width: I have muscular calves that are 15" at the widest point. The top part of the boot has an inch plus to spare, so they may seem loose to some, but I like the look with skinny jeans and leggings. Also love teh style. There's a back panel that is not numbuck - not sure what it is but it still looks great and is not a noticeable panel. Several friends have commented how great they look. I've been wearing them often for the past 3 weeks. The comfort is sublime.

I have a very high instep and the zipper didn't go low enough to allow my foot to get into the boot. They are really cute and i am going to try to order a size up to see if that gives me the additional space to get my foot in the boot.

The length was perfect for my short legs but the foot bed was very narrow and took a lot to get your foot into it, once in it was very, very stiff and cut into my foot. One side of one of the boots was also all scuffed as if someone had already worn it. Zipped up perfectly, but could not walk due to the foot bed!Must return or break my ankle.

This is a good looking boot! I ordered this as a work book due to the tread and the fact that it was waterproof. I needed a good leather work boot for our farm, but wanted something that worked well and looked good. Comfortable for work, strong sturdy leather and good looking! Would recommend! Very comfortable.

Boots fit well and look nice. They dress up and dress down well. My only complaint is the the insole is not removable.

Not as comfortable as Del La Vina. Toes hit top of shoe more. Not ad much cushion for foot, and no extra room to put in an insole. Boot tends to slouch at ankles, which is very uncomfortable.

I am always a size 7 but needed to return the 7 and get a 7.5. I wish manufacturers could just get the size right, it's so annoying and time-consuming to have to return boots. In the end I decided to return the larger ones as well. They were almost exactly what I wanted, but in terms of style they're just a little off. They look a little too clunky and utilitarian as opposed to stylish. I used to have a pair of similar waterproof boots that managed to achieve both great functionality and a cute/chic look, and I was hoping to replace them with these. But these were just not quite there.

Good boots, I get a lot of compliments on them. I ordered half a size bigger than usual and I wish I would have gone up another half to accommodate socks. They are long enough but very narrow. Hopefully they'll stretch out! The shaft is nice and wide but they are very difficult to get on and off because the zipper doesn't reach all the way down. The heel is nice and low so they are comfortable in that way. I haven't had a chance to test out the waterproofing yet.

Love the look and style of these boots. Being weather/waterproof makes them the perfect black boots. My only issue is the narrowness of the back heel/achilles area. I wore them for an entire day not by choice and while my feet remained dry and warm I did get a blister on the back of my heels. The toe area is smaller than other boots I have but still comfortable. Overall I love the look and style.

I love wearing these boots! I am a teacher and these have been great to wear on days I have bus duty or need to go outside for recess. They are comfortable to wear all day and I think they are really stylish! I love that they are waterproof and warm. I usually wear a 9.5 in sneakers, but I ended up keeping these in a size 10 because I found the smaller size was a bit tighter across the top of my foot. Very happy with my purchase!

I have an older model of these boots, but want to leave a review because they are the best boots I've ever owned. I love that they are water proof leather. They also keep my feet warm, which is a tough feat since I've frost bitten my feet so many times. I would recommend going a size up, especially if you plan to wear medium or heavier socks during winter time. These boots also hold their quality for many years - mine are 3 years old at this point and still going strong. Can't recommend these boots enough!

Thank you Teva for making boots for gals with bigger calves! I rarely find tall boots that fit so I was so glad these did. That being said, if you are a not so big calf gal, you might not be happy with these! I just got these but wearing them in the house for an hour I can tell they keep the heat in! Should be great for those winter days outside which is why I ordered them! The color and style is just right. I ordered half a size up to accommodate thicker socks and maybe even an insert. I feel like these are fairly true to size. But I wouldn’t size down if in between.

I loved my pair of Teva de la vina boots, which I wore for several years and used for daily wear as well as travelling in snow. They were stylish, functional, and, most importantly, comfortable. I needed a replacement and found, to my dismay, that the de la vina was retired! So I tried the Ellery boots and found them a worthy replacement. I do prefer the de la vina styling, but I'm so very glad that the Ellery so closely resembles its predecessor.

I wear these boots daily in the cold months. I purchased the black pair of boots two years ago and this year I ordered the brown pair. I have arthritis in my feet and I can wear these boots all day long and not have regrets at the end of a day. Because if the arthritis I sized up by a half and my feet's are not lost with only one pair of socks. My feet stay warm and dry. These boots resist water and nothing gets through. I'm retired and my days are totally random, no matter where my day takes me these boots are with me for the trek.

I love these boots. I bought a black pair last year. Did lots of walking in NYC and they keep my feet warm dry and comfy! This purchase easy on easy off when taking the pup outside, dressy enough for work, water proof loved them in the first snow fall!

There are no words to state the quality, durable and waterproof capability of these boots. I am a very active granma if a 2.5yo boy and we hike everyday in extreme conditions! From mild weather to trekking in 2 feet of snow to retrieving a toddler from a swampy, mucky shoreline. These boots have held up beyond my expectations!

My daughter really loves these! They keep her feet dry and are comfortable for walking around the city. The soles are very durable and stable as well and they are a classic looking boot.
